Book excerpt: "The Partitions of Poland or Partitions of the Polish?Lithuanian Commonwealth were a series of three partitions which took place in the second half of the 18th century and ultimately ended the existence of the Polish?Lithuanian Commonwealth (Polish: Rzeczpospolita Obojga Narodów; Lithuanian: Abiejų Tautų Respublika), resulting in the elimination of sovereign Poland, and Lithuania, its partner in the Commonwealth, for 123 years.

Download or read book The Partitions of Poland 1772 1793 1795 written by Jerzy Lukowski and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-17 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Partitions of Poland were a key event in the power politics of the late ancien regime, and had major long term consequences for the balance of power in northern and eastern Europe. Over a period of twenty five years Catherine II (Russia), Frederick II (Prussia) and Maria Theresa and Joseph II (Austria) between them wiped Poland xxx; Europe's second largest countryxxx; off the political map, and Poland disappeared as a state for 120 years. Jerzy Lukowski's new account, the first comprehensive study of the topic in English since 1915, sets the Polish dimension of this story in its wider European context, illuminating the motives and attitudes of the participants and exploring its consequences. This is a major contribution to the diplomatic history of eighteenth century Europe.

Book excerpt: THE cause of Poland owed no effective aid to British statesmanship, from the time of Pitt's passivity in 1792 to that of Lord Russell's non possumus in 1863; and there was very cold comfort in the words which, as we learn from Mr. Buckle's new volume, Disraeli used in the house of commons: "If the partition of Poland was a great crime, it was a crime shared by the Polish people, as their national existence could not have been destroyed without some faults on their side.' Students of history who have contented themselves with this kind of self-complacent judgement and the grain of truth which it contains, will do well to read Dr. Lord's monograph, and more especially the introductory part of it, which deals with 'the unfortunate historic evolution of the Polish constitution', together with the very remarkable chapters treating of the beginnings of national revival, and of the attempted realization of them in the constitution of the third of May. Dr. Lord justly holds that the history of the second partition of Poland, which is his proper theme (although he carries it forward in some respects to the much debated ground of the negotiations which ended in the third partition), cannot be understood when viewed as a mere episode in the history of the revolutionary war, or as a result of the transactions (the reverse of complete) between the eastern powers down to the time of the Russo-Prussian Convention of January 1793. To these transactions Dr. Lord has given full attention; and those who can call to mind the controversies of a past generation, in which the conclusions of Sybel's great book on the revolutionary epoch were impugned by Hüffer and others and defended by the eminent author with no measured scorn, will readily acknowledge the use made in the present volume of the new sources, and of the new historical works, Polish and Russian in particular, which have been open to the use of its writer. He has thus produced one of the most notable diplomatic studies that have been recently published, and one which does great credit to the historical school of which he is a member. --The English Historical Review, Volume 21

Download or read book Encyclopedia of the Age of Political Revolutions and New Ideologies 1760 1815 2 volumes written by Gregory Fremont-Barnes and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2007-09-30 with total page 944 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By giving rise to new ideologies that in time transformed the political structure of much of the world, the American and French Revolutions stand as two of the most important political events in global history. The American establishment of a Republican government, and the gradual expansion of democracy that ensued, altered traditional political and social thought, thus shaping the later French Revolution and creating the core ethic of later American political values. The Enlightenment ideals of the French Revolution, as later spread by the armies of Napoleon, dissolved most traditional European notions of political authority. This encyclopedia offers current, detailed information on the people, events, movements, and ideas that defined the revolutions in France and America, as well as in other parts of the world during the late eighteenth-century Age of Revolutions. Besides numerous entries on various countries of Europe whose histories were affected by the French Revolution, such as Austria, Belgium, Germany, Poland, and Russia, the many entries covering the people, events, groups, and ideologies of Revolutionary and Napoleonic France include the following: Civil Constitution of the Clergy, Georges Jacques Danton, The Directory, Guillotine, Josephine, Empress of France, Law of Suspects, The Mountain, Prairial Insurrection, Tennis Court Oath, White Terror. Besides various entries covering American colonies/states, such as Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina, and Virginia, the numerous entries covering the figures, events, and ideologies of the American Revolution and Early Federal Period of the United States include the following: Abigail Adams, Boston Massacre, Constitutional Convention, William Franklin, Lexington and Concord, Actions at Loyalists, Massachusetts Government Act, Edmund Randolph, Signers of the Declaration of Independence. Finally, the encyclopedia offers various entries covering important revolutionary figures and movements that were active in other parts of the world during the period 1760-1815, including the following: Simon Bolivar, Dutch Revolutions, Haitian Revolution, Hispaniola, Latin American Revolutions, Mexican Revolution, Pugachev Rebellion, Toussaint l'Ouverture. Besides over 450 clearly written and highly informative entries, the encyclopedia also includes primary documents, a chronology, an extensive introductory essay, a bibliography, a guide to related topics, and a series of useful maps.

Download or read book The Modernisation of Russia 1676 1825 written by Simon Dixon and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1999-07-29 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book to place Russia's 'long' eighteenth century squarely in its European context. The conceptual framework is set out in an opening critique of modernisation which, while rejecting its linear implications, maintains its focus on the relationship between government, economy and society. Following a chronological introduction, a series of thematic chapters (covering topics such as finance and taxation, society, government and politics, culture, ideology, and economy) emphasise the ways in which Russia's international ambitions as an emerging great power provoked administrative and fiscal reforms with wide-ranging (and often unanticipated) social consequences. This thematic analysis allows Simon Dixon to demonstrate that the more the tsars tried to modernise their state, the more backward their empire became. A chronology and critical bibliography are also provided to allow students to discover more about this colourful period of Russian history.
